Starlink is an open-world action-adventure game where you take control of a starship to protect the galaxy of Atlas from the evil Legion army. Starlink isn't exempt from this trend but does well enough differently both with its game genre and interaction that makes itself stand out. While most of them did work as advertised, many followed the formula set by the Skylanders series. Let's be honest, despite the waning interest, the novelty of taking a physical item and scanning it into a video game still sounds very cool and everyone is just waiting for the day where the technology won't be restricted to proprietary accessories tied within their respective games. An innovation that sounded it came straight out of old 90's science fiction media. The Toys-to-Life subgenre of video games was a neat idea that, while sounded amazing, sadly didn't last as long as expected. While there is a bit of truth to all that, I wouldn't recommend dismissing the game outright as it offers so much more than what was made out to be. With the Nintendo Switch version taking the extra step by having what most people expected to be a shallow inclusion of the Star Fox crew. On the surface, Starlink: Battle for Atlaslooks like nothing more than a spaceship shooter with a toys-to-life gimmick slapped on to it.
